HP THE MACON TELEGRAPH. MACON. GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 14, 1894. (MugieCtopy, ft Unu> D.mocrats Will Caucus Upon the Pro posed Changes of the Law. TUB FIRST NEW BILLS PASSED Senator Mercer Propose* Meant frr Re lieving the Justlcee of the State Supreme Court—Some Other New Meaenre«> Atlanta, Nov, 13.—(Special,)—The Democrats of the house today deter mined to caucus on the proposition to change the present method of selecting Judges and solicitors. So that If n change to made and n close study of the drift of sentiment among the law makers justifies the prediction that there will be n change, It will stand S alone to the credit of the Democratic party. The Populists are close- mouthed on the subject of taking the Judiciary election out of the hands of the legislature, and it Is not known what position they would take If it was left to the two houses to chooso a plan—except It Is safe to say that they would combine to embarrass the party before the people, If possible. 1 The determination to caucus on the ! question was brought about tbls morn- lug by the act»<c of too house on the bill of Mr. Houston of DeKalb. Tbo ball, which provides for tho election of tne judiciary by tho people, was re ported adversely to the house by tho general Judiciary committee. Upon a mot-.ou to agree to tho report of tho committee, which would have killed the bill unanimously^ Mr. Hopkins of Thomas moved to make that motion tho special order for next Friday, and, without discussion, the motion was adopted.. This threw the fate of tho bill over to Friday, and on so Import ant a measure, affecting the people of the whole, state vitally. It naturally be came a necessity to 'know tho senti ment of the Democratic party upon It, and not give the Populists au oppor tunity to decide the fate of the bill. A call for a caucus was quickly circu lated and when the house adjourned Chairman Jenkins ordered tho caucus to meet Thursday nlglit. Besides de ciding whether the Judiciary shall be elected by tho people ncreafter or ap pointed by tho governor, or whether there will bo any change In the pres ent system nt all or not, the caucus Thursday night will pass on the mili tary appropriation. NEARLY HALF THE SESSION GONE. "When the legislators finish their day’s, work on Saturday, just onfcbalf of the fifty days’ session allowed by law will have expired. / ' Today both houses passed their first hills. The sessions were short, but on account of a lack of business, ilot for an indisposition to work". Fewer blits, especially local blits, have been Introduced up to the present time than within a simitar period of any preced ing legislature since the war, a>-d tho Indications are that the volume of business done will be unusually small. Tho political excitement of tho paBt year kept down the usual flood of local bills, and the legislative election also effectually diverted the minds of tho legislators from law making. Mr. Rockwell of Chatham got in his bill to fix -the time of holding elections for dty officials by the mayor and council of Savannah, through along with the first batch of blits passed by the house this morning. Two other bills by Mr. Rockwell were also passed today. They were to allow Judgse p£ the superior court to commit persons to the insane asylum during the absence of the ordinary, and to regulate Aching In the watera of the Btate. Among the other bills passed was one by Mr. iMorley of Elbert authorizing Judges to appoint commiasloners to lay off dowers in vacation as well ns In term time. Rills for the appointment rf a county Judge tor Mitchell county, and to change the time of holding Dooly supe rior court were also passed. NEW MEASURES. Among the new bills introduceed were two Important Insurance bills. One was by Mr. Bergen of Milton, and provides that all mutual assessment fife Insur ance companies of the state desiring to db usincss In other states shall deposit securities with the state treasurer of Georgia. The other bill requires fire in surance companies to pay the face value of policies In case of loss, regardless of contracts to the contrary. Mr. Jones of Dougherty today Intro duced a bill revising rite fee list of Just ices of tho peace. IN THE SENATE. One of the most Important bills of the session was introduced In *.hc senate to day by Mr. Mercer. His object Is to re lieve the supreme court. To accomplish this the bill provides that the supreme court shall have the right to affirm or reverie the decisions of lower courts without writing out a formal opinion when no important questions are raised and the amount of money Involved is I small. This method would not only relieve the court but reduce the number of volumes of supreme court reports ornslderably, thereby saving a good deal of money to the state, as well ss to the lawyers who buy the reports. The first bill passed by the set. At *i s a local Mil providing a publi a. . ,1 system for the town of Madls ia The senate passed the bill by >1-. era making the offense of cheating *r.a swindling punishable under feotlon 4110 Of the Code, like all other rthdems* i- ors, the present punishment being it.,, prisonment. In executive session the toouflpii- firmed the following appointments unde by Governor Atkinson: Howell Cobb Judge and John n .-Jell solicitor, dty court of Ctarire county. John F. Brannon Judge and Georg* W. Williams eollcitor, city eon.- or fsul- loch county. Thmas N. Hopkins aNld'or clt court of Thomas oounty. NORMAN HAS DlSAVFEJ RED.

Sestbom Crowley, father of t'hc.mur- Herea mail, was the first wleness put upon .the stand.

Several other witnesses were exam ined, but no. new light Is thrown on the case, all the evidence going to fix the guilt on young Meyer alone. The defense has now several wit nesses, but It Is not believed that any of them will bo Introduced. The hope of tho defense is apparently In relying on the prisoner's statement and .the final speech to the jury. . -WHITEOAPS PLEIAD GUILTY. l i man Humor Says Oakrnan May Bo at tilt Head of the Central System, Arrival of the Remains of the Czar ai the Capital of the Russian Umpire.

U.-Tha Herald sayst The reorganization plan of tho Georgia Central railroad is now liable to be announced at any moment.. The syndicate that takes the' new seven-million first mortgage was com pleted yeuterday, and it consists of Ivtfhn, Loeb & Co., the Mercantile Trust Company, tho Nmv York Guar anty and Intlomrely Company and Drexel, Morgan ■& Co. Tho first two will take 1C,300,000 each. It is understood that W. O. Oaktnan, formerly president of tho Richmond Terminal Company, will become pres ident of the new Georgia Central Cotm" pauy,after the reorganization, and that Samuel Spencer, president of fho Southern company, which retains con trol of the stick of tho nov company, will be a director. , QUITE ANOTHER STORY FROM .' ; SAVANNAH. Savainab, Nov. 13.—Dispatches re ceived In tills city this* morning leavo no doubt of tho fact tnat Mr. H. M. Comer will continue as president of tho Georgia Central railroad after tho re organization. Mr. Comer-Ims been assured by the representatives of nvevy Interest con nected with tile property In Nmv York that he will bo retained. The statement sont out irom Now York, several days ago that Mr. Coiner was to be succeeded in tbo presidency by one of tho ofholais of the Mutual Ltfo Insurance Company of that city was received with expressions of re gret, surprise and doubt In Savannah. It wa3 difficult for people hero to con ceive that those lit clmrgo of the reor ganisation of tho property would de liberately cast aside a‘man so thor oughly conversant with every aspect of tho Central railroad as Mr. Comer and eubatituto on totally unacquainted with its past and present physical con ditions, its business possibilities, and tho most effective means to secure tho best financial results from its opera tion. Much a step, It tvns argued, would undoubtedly bo antagonistic to tbo best interests of tho system and would cause suspicion to nrloi where tecro jvould be nothing but implicit confi dence If. tho Central Is to bo re-estab lished oh its former high piano of prosperity. Tho Mot that Mr. Corner himself was unaware that thero was any such change In vlow added to the Improba bility of the Intelligence sent out front tho tnotropolis. Until thero was an official denial from those In charge of tho reorganiza tion, though, there .was a feeling of unrarf.ntes not only In Savannah, but throughout Georgia. MR. .COSIER SEEMS SECURE. Savannah, Nov. 13.—Receiver Comer has positive assurances from ltjan and others high In control of the Cen tral reorganization that he will bo re tained. Receiver Hayes Is Btin of tho samo opinion. No’credence Is placed In tho Herald's story here. Privato telegrams received hero this very day confirm tbo fact of Comer’s reltutlon after tho reor-. ganlzatlon. KNIGHTS OF LABOR IN SESSION.
